Loyal GM City Buys Ford for Police Vehicles

Some of you may have heard of Bay City, Michigan, but many of you probably haven’t. General Motors has a production facility in the city of 34,000 people. They’ve always purchased GM vehicles for police duty so they can stay loyal to the company that provides jobs to the community. Recently, during a rather controversial vote, the city decided to buy four new Ford vehicles instead of GM.

When talking about loyalty, Bay City Commissioner of the 9th Ward said, “This is not about being loyal to GM. It’s about being loyal to our taxpayers.” The four new Police Interceptor Utilities will cost the city $165,580. That’s $37,000 less than what they could get comparable GM utilities for. That’s a significant cost-savings, and a no-brainer to us.
